RIDE-A-THON: Today, Tomorrow and Sunday!!

Which is exactly what I was saying earlier:
Ride-a-thons are "fashion shows" for the next bit of ride furniture, which, as you may have noticed, is islands, waterfalls, and Peter Pan ships...
Just as it was Gingerbread houses the last time, and Alice rides before that, and Club 33 before that.

Since VMK is about park promotion, they use March's "Pirate & Princess Party" (do you Disneyland folks have one over there?--Went to the WDW one last year) as an excuse to tie it into Captain Hook, but it's clear we're getting all that Pan Ride stuff that was supposed to come out at the same time as the Alice Ride stuff.
(In fact, sometimes would get a glitch and have Pan ships appearing on the Alice tracks...They were obviously intended to hit the stores at the same time, ie., back when the Fantasyland Courtyard first appeared.)

And as for why Shark Magic is in stores...have a feeling we're not going to see that Advanced Card Game after all, and all those cool prizes are going to make their way to the stores, just like the Star Carpets and the Tower of Terror Elevator.

Great Thoughts DerekJ! That's a great Idea

Good to see that some people are looking at this ride a thon as good thing. If your determined to ride it 100 times, which is possible, if you started since the morning, considering that the time was changed and maybe not alot of people noticed it in the morning...

Lol, he also gave me a consolation prize, the same as normal, for VMK's coocooness

If there is a team ride competition, I'm pretty sure there will be rants about people not having teams or they didn't get to enter in time. Maybe gingerbread competition all over again.

What a fun weekend, I managed to catch VMK_Red, and HOST_Harmony throughout the rides.

I've gotten a TON of these walls the last two days and can't wait to get building with them.

I'd like to give a big thanks to HOST_Bella for making these awesome rides, and all the other HOST_'s I have seen running through them - booting players, and just having fun. Thanks a bunch!

Except this time I will be able to enter.

I just hope that if there's a room competition this month, it'll be a team one. It's a lot more fun if you build with people you know and love!

[gabyta]

And it's closed!
Let's see what do we do with the walls

[GoofyLuke]

Maybe we won't have a room competition or ride competition and can throw them into a store room!

[frozenfire]

i sure hope its a ride competition
then we can ride ppl's cool pirate rides
im hoping to enter if there is one

[spacerightsummer]

Well all in all a kewl weekend ride a thon. I understand all the ppls opinions about these walls. I am not complaining for the very fact that I stink at pirates game and I am overjoyed that I have a chance to get this for my room building addiction . As far as all the ppl putting those stupid gifts and dancing on the walls (of which I reported ) I hope you all enjoy being on the red list. I am sure a ban is in these ppls future considering that any one with even a bit of brains would understand that it is a ride a thon not a 'look at me dancing on the wall!' a thon. Kudos to HOST_Bella for her awesome room building abilities and for making this ride a thon possible. Thanks goes to the staff that kept things stable in the ride environment and I can hardly wait for the next one. Ah, brings back memories of the Christmas ride a thons.

I've been hoping for a team competition for a long time. I'm going to make StitchMad be on my team (even if I have to threaten to take away his red flips to get him to join....). I'd love to have some really good design people from the forums work together to make a kick behind team.

Threatening StitchMad sounds fun...count me in! Just kidding Stitch

Yeah I would love a team competition! It would be more fun working with a team than alone. And if you get a bunch of great room designers together, you could make an awesome set of rooms!
